On the morning of October 25, 2024, police in Fulton, Missouri, found 27-year-old Dominique E-KeVaughn Ford inside an apartment at Southwood Village Apartments with a gunshot wound. He was taken to a local hospital and later died of his injuries. Ford graduated from Fulton High School, worked as a laser tech specialist at Danuser Machine Company, and was studying at Lincoln University to become a physical education teacher.

Investigators described the killing as appearing to be premeditated. Surveillance from the complex shows a person in dark clothing entering and leaving Ford’s apartment around the time of the shooting. Authorities also released video of a white Hyundai Tucson, believed to be a 2009–2014 model with no front license plate, seen in the parking lot and later traveling south on Missouri Route C. Despite these leads, no arrests had been announced and the case remained unsolved by the one-year anniversary, while family and friends held vigils to press for answers.

If anyone has information about the vehicle, the person captured on surveillance, or the shooting, please come forward.
